Book Review: The Quest of the Sparrows
Published
Year:
2017(Second Edition)
Synopsis
A seemingly ordinary young man forced to become a guru takes a leap of faith and sets off with his followers on a taxing journey that changes their mindsets and lives forever. Inspired by the carefree life of a sparrow, reluctant guru Partibhan takes off on a 600 kilometre expedition on foot to test his theory of practical spirituality. He believes that human beings can become powerful creators, but the desire to secure the future makes them mere survivors. However, survival isn’t the only goal of life. A much bigger role, a higher calling awaits us. Will Guru Partibhan and his disciples complete the journey? Will they discover their true potential and find everlasting joy? Looks at the importance of spirituality in today's fast paced world. A must read for all those feeling burnt out and wondering about the ‘higher purpose’ of their lives. The story of a young man who finds his calling in life, written in a relatable manner.
My
Review
The Quest of the Sparrows is something different from what I
read in other motivational and self-help books. The book consists of three
people and three different lives- Nikhil, Sanjeev and Partibhan who embarks
together in a spiritual journey to discovers the ultimate truth that how can
one be free like sparrows. The journey
then became the turning point of their lives and with each day they learn
something very acknowledging from simple incidents or hurdles they faced.
Nikhil who lives in London has a family who is no more with
him. He succeed everything in life but never know what family is about or how
to be a happy person. Until one day, a newspaper advertisement’s caught his
attention and he determined himself to walk on the path of spirituality.
Sanjeev who is a private detective hired to spy on the Guru
Pratibhan to prove that he is imposter like other Guru’s we see in television.
Sanjeev has gone though worse in his life and he did not wants to believe in
something which exists far above from human acceptance, the divine power. His perceptions
lead to spy Pratiban but when he knew the truth and power, he too became his
follower.
Guru Pratibhan, just like them faced worse in childhood. His
father’s leaves him and his mother in search of truth, a sick mother and huge
loan amount to be paid and loan sharks who harass him. In the last days of his father, he offered
him to take his place and spread the divine message but Pratibhan was reluctant
and blamed his father of all miseries they faced all their life. But something
transformed or we better say Pratibhan was a true austere.
The story is different like I said earlier and very
enlighten. Book talks about how human
tends to run for materialism all his life but then at the end he wants to be
transformed.
Though the book is fictional not spiritual guidance or
something but proved to be amazing art of reflecting the right path.
I personally loved the book cover and the title. Narration
was good and language was smooth and comprehendible. I would rate 4/5 stars.
